Nice procurement but can't we go for covert ship/fast attack ships or better still frigates ?

Introducing the conceptual "Umbani Assault Vehicle".

Design Objective:

- Have a support 30mm armament vehicle that can escort patrols
- Lightweight (to air transport and able to cross African bridges)
- Short in length to fit 3 in a C130
- Has the +/- same measurements as an Eland 90 without the turret

(the turret looks oversized, but it's the vehicle that is small)

White South African leadership coordinated, organized and laid the foundations of modern south Africa. Labour can be found anywhere but only the ones with the will uses it. The present ANC led government is lucky to have inherited a country with all those infrastructure and industrialization set in place already . Without those, the ANC government won't have had the means to sustain the country and the nation would had plunged into anarchy.

I will list some notable indices like you asked, by listing some achievements of the apartheid government and show you how they've fared under the current dispensation:

1. "Denel SOC Ltd is a South African state-owned aerospace and military technology conglomerate established in 1992. It was created when the manufacturing subsidiaries of Armscor were split off in order for Armscor to become the procurement agency for South African Defence Force (SADF), now known as the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), and the manufacturing divisions were grouped together under Denel as divisions. It is the largest of South Africa's state owned arms companies. The company had been experiencing major financial problems since 2015 and in 2021 it was announced in Parliament that Denel was on the brink of insolvency. The company stated that its woes were due to declining local defence budgets, weakened relationships with key customers and suppliers, the inability to retain or attract skilled personnel, ongoing salary disputes and a Fitch ratings downgrade."

The establishment of Denel sealed South Africa place in the defense world as a major producer of arms. However, as you can see from the write up above, the corporation is declining due to economic downturns and ineffective policies of the ANC government. Its now a shadow of itself.

2. "Eskom Hld SOC Ltd or Eskom is a South African electricity public utility. It was established in 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) and was also known by its Afrikaans name Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningskommissie (EVKOM). Eskom represents South Africa in the Southern African Power Pool. The utility is the largest producer of electricity in Africa, and was among the top utilities in the world in terms of generation capacity and sales, but due to the ANC and incompetence has since slipped in both categories."

This energy company which had thrived through the apartheid leadership is facing its worst times of existence, and again due to the ANC mismanagement.

3. The SANDF, formerly the SADF was once a fighting force to be reckoned with in the entire African continent and the world at large but its now fighting for its survival against budgetary cuts by the ANC government. Led by a defense minister , Mrs. Thandi Modise , with clearly no military experience or experience with defense matters, the glaring incompetence of the ANC government is alarming and the ability of the ANC to coordinate south African affairs should be questioned.

Other Major indices that reflects worsening situation in the rainbow nation are;

4. Murder rates during apartheid peaked at 11,000 in the year 1990 however as of present, South Africa has one of the highest murder rate in the world with Cape Town alone having 68.28 homicides per 100,000 people as of 2019 and 19,846 in the entire country according to Statista.
Murder rates has been on the steady increase from the year 1997.

5. The country has one of the highest rates of rape in the world, with some 65,000 rapes and other sexual assaults reported for the year ending in March 2012, or 127.6 per 100,000 people in the country according to the South African Police. These highs had never been reached at the apartheid era and obviously show the high rate of crime condoned by the ANC government.

6. "From 1994 to 2020 South Africa experienced 13,000 farm attacks, during which 2,000 commercial farmers were killed besides others who were injured or wounded. Since 2014 black farmers have also become victims. Residents of farms have a four times greater chance to be murdered than the average South African, and the elderly constitute a large proportion of victims. These crimes against farmers and their black or white staff have gained notable press, given the country's past racial tensions." Fun Fact? This was unpopular and unheard of during the aprtheid era.

7. "Outbreaks of xenophobic violence have become a regular occurrence in South Africa. These acts are perpetrated by the poorest of the poor, and have been ascribed to a combination of socio-economic issues relating to immigration, migration, lack of economic opportunity, and the ineffective administration of these. The 2019 spate of attacks in Gauteng were in part ascribed to premeditated criminality. Hundreds of foreigners had to seek safety, while twelve people were killed and dozens of small businesses belonging to foreigners were looted or completely destroyed." Again, nobody heard of xenophobia during the apartheid.

8. In as much as the ANC government claims to ensure the black people in south Africa achieve first citizens status, however, according to a 2017 government audit, 72 percent of the nation's private farmland is owned by white people, who make up 9 percent of the population. This shows how the "remnants" of the apartheid era is still holding and funding the economy of the country.

My point and Summary.

In as much i hate typing on the internet to debate something irrelevant to me as a Nigerian, the facts must be set. What facts? The facts that South Africa without apartheid or white leadership was gonna be an oversized Malawi. The industrialization and technological advancement won't have been there. Human advancement shouldn't be measured by the volume of melanin they say, but South Africa has proven to be unable to take control of their fate and write their destiny under the ANC leadership.

Today, majority of the black South Africans make up the 33.56 percent unemployment rate and people living below the poverty line, while their natural resources are plundered by white owned diamond mining multi nationals. According to world bank in the year 2022, South Africa is still the world most unequal country . Nothing has changed. It only got worse.

Below are pics on the land ownership and murder rate in SA

Interesting.

The Nigerian Air Force has shown no interest in this Aircraft, it's just fan-boys like us that keep wishing we get them.

However I really doubt NAF would purchase this any fighter jets soon, especially with the purchase of the M-346F/A.

The J-10C is such an excellent aircraft, if only we could channel some of that $6 Billion to China for this Aircraft.

Defense News Nigeria is not a source on any defense related news in Nigeria.

How can you trust him as a source on any thing.

Stormtrooper11:
Exactly. I only have three reservations for this tank. Price, side turret armour and APS.

I'm not sure if the Korean APS is tested but the side turret armour can be easily upgraded for a Nigerian version.

The Korean version featured minimal side turret armour because it was seen to be a Korean tank built for mountainous warfare as that's the terrain of South Korea. The Koreans don't believe that their primary enemy, North Korea would flank them in attacks due to the terrain. However, Nigeria is multi terrain. We'll need upgrades.

On 25 November 2022, Rwandan Peacekeepers under MINUSCA were decorated with UN Service Medals in an event that was held in Bangui City, at RWABATT10 HQs, Socatel M’Poko Base.

Is Nigeria still in any peacekeeping mission in any part of the world

rugged7:
Members of Senate and Parliament visit Rwandan peacekeepers in South Sudan.

I can't recall the last time any of nigeria's fat cat parliamentarians visited soldiers on the field in Nigeria or any other part of the world.
What exactly do they do with their millions of dollars of security and community votes they give them?

rugged7:
Today, Rwanda Defence Force officers and other ranks concluded a 10 months Basic Special Operation Forces Course at the Basic Military Training Centre Nasho.

Rwanda is standing up a very capable armed forces from training to kitting to equipment to kinetic actions. And they are quite experienced as well. They have fought in east, central ,southafrica and could potentially be landed in west Africa soon.
It's impressive that a country so small and with limited resources could almost match the top tier african militaries.

ADEGUNWA01:
I only compare the dss with the army in terms of guns not the full ammunitions like the artillery gunnery,Armour tankers etc but the gun the dss uses are far sophisticated than the army Ak47. The army special force are the only one using the Tavor in the army other regular soldiers uses Ak47.
I agree with u with other submissions sir

RiceProducers:
The only time on Russia 's side is that which allows further destruction of their military capability. Ukraine is developing capabilities in long range loitering munitions which combined with Western weapons and Patriot missiles will prove decisive.

There is now intense pressure on military industrial capacity in China, Russia, Iran and South Korea trying to meet Russian requirements for the war. These capacities will start to deplete when these countries factor in their own requirements against Israel, Taiwan and South Korea.

By mid 2023, everything will be be clear about the direction of the war which i believe in a world shaking defeat of Russia and removal or assassination of Putin

ADEGUNWA01:
Pls is the dss/sss more equipped and better paid than the army. I want to know pls someone is arguing that the army is more equipped and well paid than the dss

GreenandGold:
Our stance is stupid, honestly... but it's more about what the ANC decides than what is good for the economy... I mean, we have systems that Ukraine needs, and they could be easily supplied competitively.
